Happy weekend, my nature detectives! Time to play a little guessing game to keep your wildlife spotting skills up to snuff.
So, put on your thinking caps and let’s play Mystery Critter. And remember — no cheating!
CRITTER CLUES:
- I am a ground dweller
- You can see me more readily in winter
- My color varies throughout North America
- My diet consists of seeds and small fruit
- I am territorial
What am I? Make your guess then go to eNature for the answer and more interesting facts. Did you get it right?
If not, no worries. You will have another chance next week!
Now, head outside and see what critters you can spot in your neck of the woods! Winter is a great time of year to spot wildlife. Join the Wildobs community and share your wild adventures with the world.
There’s so much wonder waiting for you when you step outside your door. Take the time to look up — and down — and reconnect with the natural world.
See ya outside! ~ The Grass Stain Guru








One of my favorites, though, once again, I failed to guess right! I’m hoping to see some tomorrow.
